CA in a hurry

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Gordon, I have never had the CA run through but do take the time to be
some what safe. It is wise to watch what is happening <G> And take care to
aerate well or wear a mask or qall of the above. I did singe my snout before
getting wiser. Had to go herbal for a while for a cure.
